Ethan Hawke Talks Quentin Tarantino Trashing Pal Paul Dano on Rogan Podcast
Ethan Hawke Tarantino's Negativity Revealed Positivity ... Look at All the Love for Paul Dano!!!
Ethan Hawke is defending actor Paul Dano after Quentin Tarantino absolutely trashed PD's acting … finding the silver lining for his unjustly maligned pal!
Check it out ... on Thursday's episode of "The Joe Rogan Experience," the "Blue Moon" star reacted to Quentin's out-of-nowhere sharp criticism of Dano -- telling host Joe Rogan Paul probably didn't realize just how many people love his work.
ICYMI ... last week, Tarantino trashed Dano's work, saying the 2007 flick "There Will Be Blood" would have been great without one "big giant flaw" -- Dano's portrayal of the character Eli Sunday.
On Rogan's podcast, Ethan reasons further ... "Anybody that knows Quentin knows he just talks, talks, talks, talks, talk, talks, talks," while "anybody that knows Paul knows he's a great, world-class human being."
And if it helps ... Paul wasn't the only one Quentin decided to publicly rip on -- he also said he doesn't "care" for Matthew Lillard and "can't stand" Owen Wilson as an actor.
Ethan isn't the first Hollywood star to rally behind Paul -- Alec Baldwin, Ben Stiller, and Simu Liu have all celebrated his skills on social media. And comedian-actor Zach Woods absolutely torched QT for his take. So, if there's one lesson for Paul ... it's to know even when he's got one hater, he's got plenty more fans!
